Pomeroy IT Solutions Settles Proxy Battle
Pomeroy IT Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:PMRY) and Flagg Street Capital, which
owns approximately 9.8% of the Company’s
outstanding stock, announced today that they have entered into a
settlement agreement that will end Flagg Street’s
proxy solicitation.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company will expand the
size of its Board to 12, and two of Flagg Street’s
three director nominees, Jonathan Starr and Michael Ruffolo, will be
immediately added to the Board. All three of Flagg Street’s
nominees, including Richard Press, also will be nominated by the Board
for election to full terms as directors at the Company’s
2007 annual meeting of stockholders, along with the Board’s
other nominees. Flagg Street’s nominees will
also be entitled to representation on each Board committee.
"After meeting with each of the Flagg Street
nominees, we are impressed with their credentials and accomplishments,”
said Kenneth Waters, Lead Independent Director. "Mike,
Dick and Jonathan are highly competent, well-regarded in their
respective industries, and have been uniformly involved in successful
endeavors. Collectively, they will add considerable depth and relevant
insight to the strategic direction of the Company. We look forward to
their strong positive contributions to the Board,”
added Waters.
"We invested in Pomeroy because we believe in
the Company’s potential,”
said Jonathan Starr, founder and principal of Flagg Street Capital. "We
believe that the Pomeroy Board has undertaken some very positive
corporate governance initiatives that benefit all Pomeroy stockholders.
It’s time now to focus on the future. We are
committed to working with the other Board members and management to help
make Pomeroy a great company for stockholders, customers, and employees,”
added Starr.
The Company’s 2007 annual meeting of
stockholders has been rescheduled for July 31, 2007. The Company intends
to mail to stockholders a supplement to its proxy statement, along with
a new proxy card, for use in connection with the 2007 annual meeting.
Proxy cards previously provided by the Company and Flagg Street will not
be valid for voting at the annual meeting.
